February 15, 2010 -- Mixel, Inc. announced today that Canesta, a provider of single chip CMOS 3-D sensors, is using Mixel’s MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) D-PHY. Mixel’s D-PHY IP is the physical layer IP compliant with the MIPI D-PHY version 1.0. The controller was provided by GDA Technologies, one of Mixel’s MIPI controller partners.
"For our cutting-edge products, first-time success and aggressive schedule are both mandatory," said Patrick O'Connor, Vice President of Engineering at Canesta. "Key to our decision to work with Mixel was its silicon-proven technology, its leadership in the MIPI PHY market, and the short schedule Mixel committed to. Mixel delivered two weeks ahead of schedule!"
The Mixel D-PHY and GDA MIPI controller have been licensed and validated in silicon by a number of customers. According to Canesta, the two IP from Mixel and GDA work together seamlessly and in all occasions first silicon performed flawlessly.
